Mr. Chad Collins

Age 58

Northport Funeral & Cremation Service family extends our warmest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the family of Mr. Chad Collins. Mr. Collins passed away on Monday, February 03, 2025, in Birmingham, AL. 

Chad Collins grew up in Northwood Lake and was a graduate of Tuscaloosa County High School in 1985. It’s clear that his roots in the area were an important part of his life, and that connection likely influenced who he became, both personally and professionally. Chad practiced as a Registered Nurse at Life Managment and later transferred to North Harbor Pavilion. He obtained his certification in psych nursing and went on to help many people in the community to improve their mental health. During this time, he became a father to two children, Landon and Emily Collins whom he devoted his life to. Later Chad was hired at Bryce Hospital where he continued to work. Chad led a meaningful and impactful life, especially in his nursing career, and as a father to Landon and Emily. His dedication to his family and community is evident, and it’s clear he had a deep love for his children and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life like beach trips and Auburn sports. His legacy, both professionally and personally, will likely continue to inspire those who knew him. 

Chad Collins, beloved son, father, brother, and friend, is preceded in death by his father, Walter "Poochie" Collins, and his mother, Sue Barringer Collins.

Chad is survived by his former spouse, Cindy Collins; his daughter, Emily Collins; his son, Landon Collins; his sisters, Clista Lunceford and Pam Flowers; his nieces, Cassidy Hagood (Kyle), Jade Seagle (Noah), Houston Lunceford, Ashley, Lexi, and Addy Flowers; his nephews, Daniel and Dane Flowers; as well as his close friends, Angie Morrison and Chris Noland.

Chad's presence in the lives of his family and friends will forever be cherished and remembered. 

The family of Chad Collins would like to announce his passing and extend their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. In accordance with Chad's wishes, a private funeral service will be held for close family and friends. 

Compassionate, sympathetic, and professional service has been entrusted to the hands and care of the Northport Funeral & Cremation Service Professional Team.
